 World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler Eduardo Gory Guerrero, 38,  speaks at a press conference in New York in this March 11, 2004 file photo. WWE is developing a new program to randomly test wrestlers for steroids, recreational and prescription drugs, company officials said. The move follows the death of Guerrero one of the WWE's biggest stars, whose death, Nov. 13, 2005, was the latest in a string in recent years involving professional wrestlers who struggled with drug abuse. A medical examiner has not ruled on the cause of Guerrero's death. His widow has said a medical examiner told her that an autopsy showed signs of heart disease. She said Guerrero's heart disease was due to past drinking and drug abuse combined with an aggressive workout regimen.
